I am a cyber security professional with more than 15 years of experience working across multiple industry sectors. Over the course of my career I have helped to design cyber security frameworks, audit and assess cyber security programs, perform cyber security research, provide cyber security training, and manage large projects on behalf of a variety of clients, including fortune 50 companies and the U.S. and Mexican Governments. My primary specialty areas include: (1) performing a variety of cyber maturity and risk assessments on cloud, traditional IT, and OT systems, (2) developing road maps to mature the performance of cyber security programs, and (3) performing threat modeling and risk quantification to prioritize and optimize investments in cyber programs. I have extensive experience in presenting complex technical information to a variety of senior organizational leaders as well as students and non-technical personnel. While at FERC I was the technical lead for the NERC CIP standards and was instrumental in developing the Final Rules associated with CIP Version 5, CIP Version 6, and the FERC Supply Chain Risk Management order.

I am a software engineer and father of five living in North Georgia. I am an enthusiastic learner and have an aptitude for learning new skills and concepts quickly and thoroughly. I find a lot of joy in teaching and mentoring other developers with what I've learned. Music has always been one of my biggest passions, and after starting at Baylor as a music major I discovered that I could apply many of the same creative impulses to solving problems by building software. I graduated with a Bachelor's degree in computer science and went on to obtain a Master's degree in the same at Georgia Tech. I've always felt it is important to maintain my skills across the full stack of the products I'm helping to build and have the ability to build and understand the technologies involved end-to-end, from the database or smart contract layer all the way to the frontend. A software engineer has a variety of tools available to solve problems, and the languages or technologies best suited to solve any particular problem do not always divide cleanly into "frontend" or "backend" concerns. Technologies I'm comfortable with: Go, Ruby / Rails, JavaScript / Typescript, Solidity / EVM, React / React Native, GraphQL, SQL, Docker, Rust, Elixir / Phoenix, Elm, Clojure
